Outdoor data 

The transmission distance from the thermo-hygro sensor to the base station in 
open space under optimum conditions is 100ft.  Although the signal 
transmission may travel though solid surfaces or objects, the following points 
should be avoided if possible: 

Transmission Distance in Open Field 

100ft max. 

Temperature Range 

-

21.8°F to +157.8°F (show OFL” 

if outside range) 

 

Resolution : 

0.2°F 

Measuring Range Rel. Humidity 

20% to 95% (if the relative 
humidity is less than 20% or 
greater than 95%, it will display 
19% or 96%)

 

• 

High frequency interferences of any kind. 

• 

High densities of trees. 

• 

Broadband interferences in municipal areas can reach levels reducing the 
signal/noise ratio over the entire frequency band, thus also reducing the 
transmission distance. 

Rain Volume Display 

0 to 39.37 inches (1h and 24h 
rainfall) 

• 

Devices working close by (example a neighbor’s house) may also 
influence reception. 

 

0 to 98.38 inches (Total rainfall) 

Resolution :

• 

Poorly shielded PCs can cause interferences that will reduce or in some 
cases stop reception 

Wind Speed 

0 to 111.8 mph 

Resolution : 

0.1 

mph 

• 

The transmitter and receiver should not be mounted on metal surfaces as 
this will reduce transmission range.

Cleaning and Maintenance 

 

 

Using 433MHz wireless data transmission: 

• 

Clean the housing and screen of the base station only with a soft damp 
cloth.  Do not use abrasives or solvents. 

Measuring interval  
thermo-hygro sensor 

32 sec (if wind factor>22.36 
mph) or 128sec (if wind factor 

• 

Ensure that the rain sensor does not collect leaves or other dirt by 
checking the funnel for blockages every now and then.  Also clean the 
seesaw of the sensor with a damp cloth and check by lightly tapping with 
your finger that it can move freely from side to side. 

< 22.36mph) 10 minutes (if the 
base station fails to receive any 
data after 5 attempts in a row, all 
outdoor data readings will 
display “---“, except for the rain 
value)

 

• 

Do 

not

 clean the funnel with the bottom half of the rain sensor attached 

nor the bottom part itself under running water. This may bear the danger 
of water entering the unit’s inner parts and cause damages. 

• 

Do not immerse the base station in water. 

 

• 

Should there be damage to this product, please do not attempt to make 
any repairs.  Please take this unit to a qualified technician. Opening or 
improper handling of the units will invalidate any guarantee.
